The mower's rollover protection system was not in use. The mower made an abrupt turn and traveled straight down the hill with a 10-to-15-degree slope. At the bottom of the hill, the mower hit a rock and overturned on top of the employee, trapping him. The employee suffered traumatic asphyxia and was killed.
